God and the atheist

﻿

I
think it may have been St. Augustine who said in essence, as an unbeliever you
do not believe God exists; as a believer I believe He does exist and everything
He says is Truth. What if when you die I am right and you are wrong? It will
make a tremendous difference to you in the way you lived your life. You will
face judgment and sentencing from the God of the Universe. If when I die and
you are right, it won't really make any difference to me, I will be dead. How
willing are you to take that chance?

Going
a step further, when a person believes in God, how is it not possible to also
believe He has tirelessly communicated with us to reveal His plan of
salvation?If a person believes in God
and even believes on a cursory level the writings in the Bible, how would it be
possible not to believe that God worked through His Son Jesus to reconcile the
world to Himself through the sacrifice of shedding His blood on the cross to
provide the means for salvation to all who believe?

To
stand firm in disbelief in the face of all evidence God has offered is a stubbornness
rooted in ignorance, grown into foolishness
and finished in futility.
